Aspiration Online - Teachers

Meet Our Teachers

Teachers are the backbone of Aspiration and the supporting staff takes care of all the other matters.
Teachers at Aspiration are dedicated, supportive, and care for their subjects and students.

Today’s educators are urged to adapt to new approaches to teaching that are mindful of both the scientific and artistic aspects of learning. They are recognized that the core of education is a close bond between an enlightened, considerate adult and a confident, driven child. They are aware that the most crucial part of their job is getting to know each student as an individual in order to understand their particular needs, learning preferences, social and cultural backgrounds, talents, skills, and abilities.

"Before entering the field of education, Ms. Michelle worked in the auto business. She entered the ranks of teaching because she saw the value of education and felt that her children's education needed to be raised. Her mother, who has always been her education mentor, also had an impact on her. Ms. Michelle preferred how freely youngsters could think and how well they absorbed the information she taught. She finds the greatest satisfaction in the ideas that teachers and pupils encounter. Plus, she also understands that in order to educate children effectively, teachers must first serve as role models for them, educate others constantly, teach by example, be teachers themselves, and infect their classes with their own personalities and behaviours."

"The turning point for me to become a teacher came when there was an opportunity given to me by my employer, Mr. Oon (Chairman of the AISS), to be a part-time teacher for his primary school. I tried to take up the challenge and am still learning the new process for this field, and today I am a full-time educator. The best part of being a teacher are those unforgettable moments when I witness the changes in the students' improvement, especially in speaking parts, come to fruition. I can see the confidence level of students questioning the subject matter. In order to educate students well, we as teachers must set an example first, always teach and educate people, teach by words and deeds, be a teacher, and infect students with their own good personality and behaviour."

"Teaching has always been a part of me, and so has my love for the teaching of the English language. I took up teaching because of the positive academic impact I could see in the weaker students that I was assigned to teach, and that in turn helped me confirm what my passion truly was: to be a language teacher. My passion for teaching started when I realised the stark academic improvement my weaker students were able to achieve in their language acquisition skills as the years progressed and the excitement they had for learning English with me. My favourite part of being a teacher is that I get to create meaningful language-related lessons for the students to understand. A dedicated, hard-working, and cheerful teacher who is always ready to help out students to achieve the best that they can in their English and Malay language subjects."

Overview

"I have always been in the teaching field ever since embarking on my degree. I worked as a private English tutor, both online and offline, for local students ranging from children to adults, as well as foreign students from South Korea. I was directionless as a teenager, but after finding inspiration from my mother, who is an educator herself, I decided that the education field was for me. My mother is a dedicated, compassionate, and hard-working individual who strives to provide more than is needed for her students. She makes learning fun, collaborative and interactive, and I aspire to be like her as I embark on my own teaching journey. I love to find new ways to incorporate fun and interactive techniques into the classroom. I also love sharing wins with my students, no matter how big or small. I am that teacher who is passionate but also an individual who is learning something new every day."

Overview

"I was working as a graphic designer for KRU Studios while pursuing my diploma before beginning my teaching career. I was hired as a social media designer at Media Prima while I was pursuing my degree. In addition to my academic learning, I have minimal work experience in the industry. Due to my achievements in university, I was allowed to teach foundation students after I graduated. Along with that, teaching students has become my passion. To fulfil the requirement to teach undergraduates, I am pursuing my master's degree because it is one of the requirements from MQA. Thus, I began my career as a lecturer in graphic design. The greatest moment is when I see the students I taught from the foundation grow up and become excellent students. The change that I see in the students' attitudes, the relationships I build with the students and parents, when I see them manage to complete their studies and witness them standing on the stage receiving their scroll and award, is the greatest achievement for me. Being a teacher is not easy, but not that hard either. Having experience in education made me realise that I needed to keep up with the current for me to get along with the students. Besides that, you also gain knowledge from a different perspective and will have a greater understanding of their character, attitude, and unique culture."
